[Q] froyo issues - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A buddy that has a Droid Incredible on official 2.2 is having issues with the notification bar/tray and the standard messaging app.
He says that when a text or email notification comes up and he attempts to open it via the tray, the screen flashes as if it was going to open those apps but it just goes right back to the tray. Is there a update available?
The messaging app seems to crash very often. He has a few thousand messages, could that be the issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance, cheers.

i am on stock froyo and am having a similar issue. if i get a text notification and i press it, it will flash like it is about to go to the messaging app, but it just stays on the notification tray.
It is not that big of a problem for me though because it only happens occasionally and when it does all you have to do is move the tray up and the messaging up is there open to whatever the notification was for. I have never had the messaging app force close however.

Thanks for the relpy ericDylan.
I havent found too much either on any other forum I check. If I do come across something Ill post it here for you.
Good luck
Cheers.

Did he do a factory reset after upgrading to 2.2? There is often a lot of stale configuration left over in that upgrade.

Blue LED Handcent Froyo

Hello guys, found a bug which is starting to annoy!
I'm using Modaco's Kitchen Rom R5, Jul/20 Version and I love it to be fair, finally having a phone customised to be my own is fantastic, unlocked and using the newest Radio also, good times.
But I have one problem.. When I receive messages through Handcent, the Blue LED Notification comes on (as it should) but doesn't disappear when the notification has gone! Is there a way around this bug?
Cheers,
Dan
The bug is with Handcent's latest version. Just change the LED to another colour than Blue from within notification settings in Handset
considering the fact it doesn't show on my DeVillain rom either, i also tend to incline towards a handcent issue.
Hope they release a fix soon tbh
Yeah, I hope they do, it's a fantastic app. I would like for them to release a paid version, and I would pay for it to get rid of adds in the settings menu. I know that shouldn't bother me but it does!
I only get it if I receive a notification pop-up but ignore it by doing something else, then bringing it back up to read it and hitting x doesn't make the blue LED stop until I open up the app itself.
I don't get such a 'bug' in normal cases. Just received two SMS, read through the pop-up notification and then hit x and the blue LED stopped. Works fine like this. Phone is running all stock.

I also have this problem with the led on my desire. all stock . Don't know but sometimes it turns off when i restart the phone but after the first message i recieve the led is always on again.. begins to be annoying cause i depend on the notifications when i work and can't have my phone on me, only see the phone behind the cash register.. It's annoying when i'm waiting for someone important to call or message me. always looking on the phone
Handcent fix now available - version 3.22

[Q] Odd Messages behaviour after Froyo

Has anyone noticed the stock Messages app has some glitches in it now. Specifically, I've found 2:
1. If I'm typing a text, about 50% of the time, the screen will suddenly jump to the very top of the conversation list. This also removes the window you are typing in and stops you typing. So if you have around 200 messages in that particular conversation, it can be quite irritating to have to start flicking back down to continue.
2. This one is less frequent but I'm now sure it exists. When I tap on a particular conversation from the main list, occasionally I get taken to a completely different name/conversation. I used to go back to the main list to see if I mis-tapped, but the conversation it went to wasn't even close.
I've now gone to Handcent because of the irritation, but I'm wondering if it was only me that saw this?
i have the first problem too... very frustrating but i like the stock sms application because its so simple... tried chomp sms and handset 2 months ago and went back to stock app because i couldnt search in greek to add a contact (i dont know if it has been fixed)...
non rooted desire with froyo
yep, got these problems too, however I'm not on stock froyo, NeoPhyTe 5.0. I have also noticed another problem, whenevery I'm scrolling through the widget, sometimes all messages seem to be from one contact, even though they're not! weird, but then I let it reload and all seems fine

Keep having to restart LauncherPro on CM6.1?

CM6.1 is so fast and the battery life is amazing. But something that's really bugging me is that I keep having to restart LauncherPro maybe 2 or 3 times a day because it just becomes so slow and unresponsive.
I'm not sure what's triggering it but it seems to be pretty random. I've messed with LP's memory settings, etc and have overclocked, underclocked, with SetCPU and nothing seems to fix it. Using the kernel that came with 6.1.
Anyone know of a fix, or experience the same problem?
I have always had LP restart itself randomly throughout the day. Do you have CM set to keep the home app in memory? Maybe it has a leak somewhere.
Yeah, I'm used to LP restarting itself, it's done that with every ROM I've ever used. But with CM6.1 I have to manually do it to get rid of the god-awful lagginess.
I'll check that home app setting. Maybe that's it.
So I think I figured out the culprit. I use an app called SMS Popup in conjunction with the stock MMS for messaging. Whenever I reply via SMS Popup LauncherPro gets all slow and laggy and I have to restart it.
Wonder why this could be? Anyone know of any other SMS pop apps I could try? Don't want to use handcent or chomp - I like stock and think they're too bloated.

Oh, damn. I was about to suggest Handcent because it is fantastic.
I use Handcent when I use Sense-based ROMs but when I'm on CM I just love the stock messaging - it's so quick end efficient. Only wish Android had a built-in popup for sms.

[Q] Random SMS glitch

The best I can describe it is when opening a text from the notification bar it brings me to the top of the SMS thread, which can be quite long sometimes and the only way around it is to back out and re-enter the thread to get to the most recent message.
I love how smooth this phone runs, I can deal when resource heavy applications freeze for a bit or have bugs. However when simple phone based applications do things like this I kind of twinge.
Any help on either what does this or how to fix it?
Is this stock? Never had that issue? Maybe try deleting some or all your txts? I know the stock app gets flaky when you have a ton of messages on your phone
sent from a phone
i get that same thing when i have 200+ messages in a thread. its somewhat annoying.
It's happened with stock and in skyraider now
Easy trick that works for new when that happens: hold menu so the keyboard pops up, bringing you to the text field at the bottom.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5.3.
I have not run into this problem since I have been using Handcent for SMS.
have this same issue, and this is with stock 2.2 from big V.
one thing i've found to get around it though is backing out of the thread and then re-entering will put you at the end normally and also if your typing and bounce between the 159 and 161 character count, not tapping back and just changing orientation a few times will set it straight again and you can continue editing the message.
Will say, i've got threads that are 2k messages long and even then its a hit or miss thing to the point where i cant get it to happen right when i'm in front of a big V tech. :/
i get that occasionaly and i get a glitch where even if i click on the sms notification it still shows it in the bar.

[Q] SMS Problem

Having an odd issue, and I can't seem to find any information on it.
It seems that randomly my text messages won't actually save to my phone. I'll get a notification of a text received, and the preview of it shows up in the notification bar, but when I go to check it (either clicking the notification or opening up the app), it won't be there. It's like I never got the message. It's not in either the stock app or GoSMS's database. It would do this when I used Handcent as well tho too.
Anybody else have any issues like this, or know of a fix? I'll have to reboot my phone several times, or even try sending myself test messages to see if it fixes itself or not.
Edit: seems similar to this person's issue: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...ggestions/90512-text-messages-not-saving.html
